You seem to be pissed off because I rejected a badly-written patch of yours about a pointless new keyword, and now you're going at war. What's your point in spreading all this FUD really ? Bring Perl 5 to an end ? Make me quit P5P ?

And seriously are you really believing all this nonsense you're writing about releasing ?

... because I rejected a badly-written patch of yours about a pointless new keyword....

Even after all of the complaints about people who talk more than they code, I don't expect standing ovations for producing code, but I would appreciate at least an acknowledgement that I did something about it.

This is the first time (to my knowledge) you've made any comment about the implementation of the patch. If you

Lies and plain lies. I already commented on your patch on P5P. Several [mpe.mpg.de] times [mpe.mpg.de]. But you probably choose to ignore any opinion that's not in line with your ideology?

There is a plan for 5.12, see for example here [mpe.mpg.de] which is a recent statement of intention. Concerning fixing release dates, I consider that pointless [blogspot.com] and I don't understand why you think release dates matter.

Also, I don't like at all the way you systemically mischaracterise 5.10 by spreading FUD -- yes, I'm using the word again -- about how it would

... what is sad, is that less experienced users do.

May I suggest that some of them have experienced the pain I describe and would like that pain to go away?

Sorry, but I can't take you seriously anymore;

Again, how much code do I have to write for you to answer my other questions?
